Ignoring her co-host’s body negative comments, Reid continued to praise Kardashian and said she looked “absolutely knockout”.

The debate continued on Twitter after the show, with Reid continuing to defend stretch marks.

But Morgan persisted, comparing the form of scarring to his “double chin.”

She fired back saying he has “preconceptions” of what men and women should look like.

The 46-year-old received support from both fans of the show and body-positive groups.

In the very same episode, the 52-year-old also made objectifying comments about Reid’s appearance, saying her top was “not quite [see-through] enough”. He also staunchly defended the judge who came under fire for victim-blaming when she suggested that drinking made women more vulnerable to rape, while Reid insisted “the only person responsible for rape is the rapist”.

Of course, it’s just the latest in a slew of sexist, vitriolic comments from Morgan, but it doesn’t make it any less shocking that he’s allowed air time on a mainstream talk show.
